did you check the flux capacitors in the warp drive? It could be affecting your light speed modulator which in turn disrupts the space time continuum!!!! thats gota be it!

Sorry I didn't reply earlier I forgot on my 97 i had a pinched wire in the steering column that would cause that problem. One other time it was a weak ground behind the messenger tire as someone stated.

Good Luck electrical problems are a blast

If I remember right pop the cover off around the hazard switch and you will see the wires and it will be obvious where it is pinched.

Id replace the relay first...I also had this problem when i switched battery termanals to heavy duty ones. With almost 400,000 when I sold it she had here share of problems

Yeah I miss my old truck quite a bit I love the dually also haha but I have had a few offers on the dually that are enough to say put me back in a 97-03 f150 and lift it which I may do I really miss everything about the f150 from the interior to power train I guess its just a guy missing his first truck a lot.

True. It would look really good dropped like you posted about and the black wheels. But then again I don't see myself getting rid of this one

Yeah I dont know what I am gonna do I really just miss being up so high even though it killed my knees. But the dually low I think would be pretty sick and attract a lot less attention on my schools campus.
